We really enjoyed our one night stay, before we head to anaheim for disney, this was nice an relaxing. Be sure to check out the pier and downtown seal beach, it is such a Gem... cute little coastal hotel. If you stay on coastlines than you know. Quaint, quiet, has everything you need like shampoo conditioner lotion. Located by many restaurants.. we tried Hennesy in downtown seal beach and OMG, tues is buy one burger get one and its delicious, its only a few mins from downtown seal beach! Its cost effective and the better of the cost effective places in the area thats very close to the beach...cute little beachy cotton quilt. Service was easy and great! She was very kind and made it stress free, but we are easy going people. So think that makes things go smoother. Nit picking is going to take the joy out of your life and people will not want to work with you... I see some of the comments and we did not have any issues with anything... Please be kind. Be grateful, we definitely will return when we are in the area. Fot deposit back in like half hour, she said she would release in 10 mins when we checked out, and she kept her word. So thank you, we needed the R and R! Be kind follow the rules and you wont have any issues. We stayed on a tues and we seen others check in but did not really hear anyone... AC and heater also worked great! Thanks again, Namaste

Not what we expected

The price was fair. However, there were no elevators only stairs. I have limited mobility due to a muscular skeletal condition. Walking the flights of stairs caused me a tremendous amount of pain. Caused me to have a really bad flare up and now limited use of my left hip/leg. We booked there to be near the beach, the beach wasn't near. The rooms were old with colorful pictures and newer bright bedding to match the wall decor. The bathrooms were not great. While we tried to sleep, there was alot of noise. You could hear people talking, heavy walking back and forth in the rooms and or hall ways. The building felt like it was swaying. I wasn't happy with our stay. I will not be visiting this particular place again.

Need better front desk appearance

The room was very clean. However the stairs and entrance to the property were not clean and were a bit dark and scary. The reception area was very dirty and the front desk person needed a bath, a shampoo, and a change of clothes.

Clean & Comfortable

Got to the hotel after the front desk had closed for the night, but they had made sure someone was available to allow me to check in! The room was super clean & smelled great. The bed was comfortable & I was actually able to see the ocean between homes on the other side of the road. The only downside of this room was the fact that under the door was not sealed properly so I could hear a lot of outside noise from the PCH as well as other guests during the day. Most of the noise died down at night & I never had any trouble sleeping. Overall, it was a good stay & if I was in the area again for work I would consider staying again.
